Actual and Alleged

posted by on February 22 at 16:15 PM

John McCain’s wife, Cindy, left. And Vicki Iseman, the lobbyist people thought John McCain might be having a romantic relationship with, right.

The New York Times couldn’t prove a romantic relationship between McCain and Iseman (though it did prove they spent an unusual amount of time together). Both McCain and Iseman say there was never anything romantic between them. But a Slog tipper—a straight guy who presumably knows a lot more about hetero men and blondes than me—thinks these pictures suggest something about McCain’s tastes.

Yup, that's his type.

Where there's smoke there's fire. Or a liar.

Or both in his case.

Oh, fuck you, Will. Just go fuck yourself. Fuck off, fuck all the way off, and fuck off hard. Fuck off the Aurora Bridge if possible.

If there's something there, it will come out. McCain has laid the gauntlet. But right now you don't know fucking anything about anything about anything.

This story, if it is a story -- which I very much doubt -- isn't about sex. It's about lobbyists.

The similarity between Vicki Iseman and Cindy McCain has been widely noted elsewhere.  I think the take in this post on Slate's XX Factor blog is more interesting and original.  (Scroll down to item #4.)

Cindy McCain will be a far more gracious First Lady to adorn the executive mansion than Michelle could ever hope to be.

Yes, we should always, always pick a president based on the woman who would make the best First Lady.

I bet Martha Stewart would be aces! Can convicted felons be First Lady?

Would be interesting (but still, by no means indicting) to find photos of his first wife, Carol Shepp (McCain), to see if she also fit the same "type".

You know... Carol? The former model who stuck with him during his military service, torture & rehabilitation... and whom, after she got into a car accident & gained some weight during physical therapy, he brazenly and admittedly cheated on with many women including his current wife?

[Buckle up, Cindy!]

Poor, poor, Fnarf.

Have you seen pics of his first wife?

Or the girls he liked to hang out with in his "randy" days?

That's his type.

Now, STFU and go enjoy the sun while you can.

fnarf

for you - Mister know it all - it is not about sex.

for the fundies, and much of middle America, it is.

Romney fans are not happy with thier new leader. Whatever progressives thought of Monica and Bill - it WAS about sex for millions of Americans.

Are you really that out of touch?

Mc Cain is now very damaged goods. And a la Bill Clinton, ah sweet revenge, there will be more, many more. For a man like him, blond cunts were a dime a dozen.

My dear sister, staunch Democrat real time FDR demomcrat type, was ranting about a mutual friend and how she was tired of him "cheating on his wife". I think she speaks for many folks who do have expectations of fidelity and honor in marriage, more so the Christian types Mc Cain MUST have.

I'm starting to think McCain's people planted the whole story about his alleged affair in the media to sow the idea in the public consciousness that their candidate could still have sex. Remember Bob Dole!

But there is zero evidence that McCain had sex with Iseman. None whatsoever. The NYT article doesn't even really come out and allege it.

If it was unbecoming to go after Clinton's sex life -- and it was -- it is unbecoming to smear McCain this way, on far less actual evidence. I don't give a flying fuck what shitheads like Will in Seattle or "middle American fundies" think. It's a question of decency. The article stinks to high heaven. NYT = Drudge now. That's bad.

Thank you for that outburst, Fnarf. Honestly, I'm also about at my limit with dealing with these snotty, shitty, faggoty little assholes as well. See ya on the other side, pinheads.

Well, there was zero evidence about Monica, Fnarf.

Besides, McCain has just as much of a track record as Clinton ever did, so all's fair in love and aspersions.

5288 - gotta agree.

Will in Seattle starts ranting about McCain being a liar when even the New York Times won't go that far. (I mean, in the name of G*d, if the NYT won't slander him, then there's REALLY REALLY not anything there.)


So, yeah. Will - fuck off and die.

Bitch.

"fagotty little assholes"

ain't that sweet and thoughtful

of course Johhny Slut Gold Digger Penis is screwing the blondes, while married, and doing the bidding of the ones who are lobbyists - two for one on John Mr. Super Penis - you all stupid breeders want honor while fighting neo cons, give me a break

@4: Raindrop, you're an idiot. I hope no one out there is confusing me with you.

The President and Mrs.Obama will create a new White House - a world center for talent, and evening garb, and state functions to make us proud again

Can you say a reborn Jackie Kennedy Onasiss era?

Mrs. Mc Cain is a trailer trashed pretender.....Cinder needs help with her face, hard look indeed

fnarf: NYT = Drudge now? You gotta be kidding me. Have you read the Drudge Report? It's not like it's all op-ed pieces like Alex Jones. All Drudge does is capture headlines from around the world. No op-ed at all! Most articles he posts are AP, Reuters or BBC. Just like any news, you get to read and decide for yourself. He's not trying to sway anyone. If NYT gets some tips from Drudge, because he's the most handy, most up-to-the-minute source for prompt headlines, that does not mean they have sacrificed anything, journalistically speaking. NYT does not = Drudge.

Is Angie Dickinson dead? McCain wants to know.

Cindy McCain will be a far more gracious First Lady to adorn the executive mansion than Michelle could ever hope to be.

Do drug addicts make better First Ladies? Or was it Cindy's stealing drugs from the charity that she set up with her daddy's money that puts her ahead of Michelle?

They both look like him. They could be his sisters.

Why won't he release the Abramoff docs?

watch Ms. Mc Cain to quietly appear with new tits and a face lift in coming weeks

better tits, sort of Tuscon whore house style will be essential to the Mc Cain campaign

Cindy Who Nobody is a dog compared to Michelle Obama, who, sweet Jesus, seems to have brains and two lovely daughters to showcase.

The young families of America will be paying attention and bond, big time. JFK, Jackie, John John and Caroline - is there some comparison???.

We all love pretty young families with well tended and very happy healthy kids.

I'd like to hear more about the sex lives of world leaders and political figures, and not just when they're acting out. I want weekly updates on all the loveless marriages, bondage enthusiasts, and anal queens in our government. Surely sexual satisfaction, more than any other factor, determines the leadership we get.

With nude pix of Mc Cain fucking some whores I can predict all his future behavior.The must be in color and show faces plainly .... and never before printed.

He is a corrupt old R, war monger, bribe taking, neo con.

Who he fucks is not an issue - but as the Senator from Idaho, Mr. Craig, learned - HYPOCRISY can trap you, big time.

I want to see Concerned Women of America on a picket line chanting adultry over and over.

This campaign is going to be a dog fight.

I've never heard his wife speak. I've only seen her standing by his side looking like an ad for cosmetic surgery. But really... who cares? There's a whole world of women who would fuck anyone with a little power.

There are all kinds of reasons not to vote for McCain in November, but the places where his dick has been is not one of them.

And don't count on fundies in the Hooterville trailer parks sitting out the election because of this. McCain could sacrifice kittens on an altar to Beelzebub and still get their votes as long as he has an R after his name, especially if Hillary is his opponent.

No.

Line up pics of all the wives of current and former Republican candidates wives this year. They all have the same taste.

...at his age, it is more likely where his snout has been .... could use eating pussy images in the cable late night ads .... IS THIS THE MAN YOU WANT LEADING AMERICA? ....

I too could care less, but think it might be a tool against him. In this war about to start, ALL is fair.
